Hi,

"Polygonize" should work well to vectorize the raster classes. If you have problems with the file name, try simplifying the file name to the bare minimun like c:\temp\toto.shp if you're on Windows. Make sure you have no spaces or accents in the path (this includes the user path of your operation system).  Notice that there are two polygonize algorithm.  One is from QGIS and one is from GDAL.  Try both.   They are probably both based on GDAL but one (probably the QGIS one) may have an easier time with accents, spaces or special characters like '\n'.

Good luck

Hi Kirk,

that was helpful, thank you.

I am not yet where I need to be, but so far I could create two classes with the 
formula found in the docs 
(https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_raster/raster_analysis.html)
 along this line:

        `("slope@1" < 50) * 1 + ("slope@1" >= 50) * 2`

At this moment, my biggest problem is creating the vector file, the window 
claims that the file name is too long. This cannot be the case, and the 
directory itself should be OK. So now I am trying to get this done, and then I 
will test three classes, which I did not get working up to now either.

If there are easy answers to these two questions, I would be pleased, 
otherwise, I will try tomorrow.

Thanks a lot,
Maria

Hi Maria.
The symbology does not reclassify the underlying raster, it just changes the 
way it is displayed.  Use the raster calculator to generate a new raster with 
the Classes you require. The native qgis calculator works well. You can find it 
in the upper word menu under raster.  Once  you have your raster reclassified, 
you can then convert it to a vector format

Subject: [Qgis-user] creating vector layer from slope map with few classes

Hi,

I have created a slope map from a DTM.

I have limited the symbology to three meaningful classes and wish to create a vector layer with 
polygons of three classes from that. The conditions are One-Channel-Pseudocolor, Channel1 
(Gray), interpolation discrete, modus "fortlaufend" -- not identical interval or 
quantile, 3 classes with values <=20, 20 - 40, > 40.

The classes show up in the layer design panel symbology tab, but the layer 
browser still (thankfully!) shows the greyscale ramp.

I wish to create a vector layer with polygons from the 3 classes.

All solutions I have looked up work under slightly different condition. After all I do 
not know how to get the data of the DTM into three classes like 
"Flat-Gentle-Steep"; I think the vectorization should work easily then.

Can anybody hint me to a solution?


Thanks and best wishes,
Maria
